Emily Barker is an award-winning singer-songwriter, best known as the writer and performer of the theme to the hugely successful BBC crime drama “Wallander” starring Kenneth Branagh.
Her last album, 2020’s “A Dark Murmuration of Words”, was produced by Greg Freeman and recorded at StudiOwz, a converted chapel in the Welsh countryside. Lyrically probing, by turns both dark and optimistic, Barker searches for meaning through the deafening clamour of fake news and algorithmically filtered conversation, delivering a timely exploration of the grand themes of our age. It garnered widespread acclaim, with Uncut calling it “…a kind of Australian equivalent of PJ Harvey’s ‘Let England Shake'”.
Barker has released music and toured as a solo artist as well as with various bands and collaborations, most notably her long association with Frank Turner, and has written for TV and film, including composing the soundtrack for Jake Gavin’s lauded debut feature “Hector” starring Peter Mullan and Keith Allen.
Alberta Cross were formed by Swedish-born lead singer and guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee, and his London pal Terry Wolfers in the mid-00s. in the mid-00s. Their anthemic Americana-tinged songs possess a vulnerability and earthiness, and it soon showed in how hugely their debut record ?The Thief & The Heartbreaker? began to connect
2024 will see a reworked re-release of this album which will feature of wealth of musical collobarations such as Katie Melua, Jack Savoretti and Band of Skulls
This tour will be celebrating the album and the man that helped bring it to life, Petter Ericson Stakee
